Someone told me recently that they put them in the washing machine on a 65degree wash. His door seals were properly clean, so I believe him.

Not my idea..............just saying.

Calling Ireland !

I've been using Armouall Rubber , Vinyl , Plastic , product for long time and me rubbers are fine :oops:

Takes patience and use a soft cloth , keeping cloth clean (Kim wipes ) at all times , as it's amazing the
amount of black dirt that comes off with each rub and you'll go through lots of cloths .

Hope this helps , works for me . I do all my rubbers about three times a year , rubbers and seals look
great , bodywork is grim !

Atb,

We used solvents of Naptha on rubbers in the RAF - don't suppose you can get it now.
